House Design
Planning source: DIY and general contractor planner
-Planner from construction company: Yes
-Architect: No
-Do-it-yourself: Yes
What do you especially like? Why? South orientation, view
What do you dislike? Why? That’s for you to tell us
Price estimate from architect/planner: 330,000
Personal price limit for house, including fittings: 450,000 including additional construction costs
Preferred heating technology: Air-to-water heat pump
If you have to give up on which details / expansions
-Can you do without: Garage
-Can’t do without: Not building smaller
Why did the design evolve as it is now? Example:
Information from the web (including this forum) and contacts with other builders
What makes it especially good or bad in your view? Don’t know
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
Because of this forum, the building shell is planned as it currently is. The lower residential floor is to be half embedded into the slope on the valley side. On the open side are the two bedrooms and the main entrance. To the right, the double garage, also partly embedded in the slope. In the slope are the utility room and a bathroom. The ground floor above is planned entirely for living, with terraces and garden access, plus a small bathroom.
Fire away and thank you all.

Pitiglianio31 Mar 2023 23:37In January, we purchased a display kitchen. Tiles will be selected soon. Changes requested by the general contractor have been limited so far. The only significant extra cost has been about 3000 euros for the electrical installation. Plumbing will probably be a bit more expensive as well.

Pitiglianio31 Mar 2023 23:52The slope stabilization around the property and house will be secured using granite blocks in visible areas and L-shaped retaining walls along the property boundaries. Unfortunately, these costs cannot be postponed and must be carried out gradually in the near future. Hopefully, the effort will remain manageable.

Pitiglianio26 Oct 2023 17:17Hello dear forum community,
here are some new photos of our construction progress.
At the beginning of April, the PUR floor insulation as well as the underfloor heating mats were installed. Afterwards, the cement screed was applied.
The ceilings have been insulated and suspended.
Outside, we were able to continue working on the garage and install the slope stabilization behind the house with L-shaped concrete blocks.

Pitiglianio26 Oct 2023 17:26At the beginning of May, the house was scaffolded again, and the plasterers applied the base coat followed later by the finishing coat. I was a bit worried about discovering any imperfect work in the morning side light. Fortunately, the guys did a good job. 🙂
The painter was already at work here and painted the house in the desired cappuccino tone.
At the same time, we were able to start inside with the wood-look tiles, installed in the living area and kitchen.

Pitiglianio26 Oct 2023 17:37We have mostly kept the walls white, except for a gray wall in the dining/kitchen area and a burgundy wall in the living room. The bedrooms also received a colored accent wall. For the wall construction, we opted for (high-quality) Q2 finish with painter’s fleece.
Outside, there were further significant earthworks, and we were able to place the desired granite blocks around the house for slope stabilization, especially for the western terrace and garden. A staircase was also installed next to the garage leading up to the rear northern terrace.
As you can see, we also decided on photovoltaic systems, installing nearly 17 kWp on both sides of the roof. However, storage systems were too expensive for us.
We are mostly done with the general contractor. The final inspection has already taken place. Except for a few minor issues, all work is completed. However, there are still some tasks remaining outdoors, which we plan to address over the next few months.
